Hello Again! There are so many fabulous things happening for Fashion Club this Spring! This last workshop that we had before a nice little Easter weekend was for some “hare” styles (Hehe see what we did there?) and it turned out fabulously for us! There are big plans for the rest of the year before … Continue reading
The design students had the opportunity to participate in another design trip in a bustling design city of the Los Angeles, California!! One of the design capitals of the US! What an AMAZING experience!! Design students who participated in this trip found this opportunity extremely beneficial to the application of their post-secondary education and their future careers. Students got the opportunity to visit fashion showrooms and view upcoming fall lines (tons of behind the scenes clothing that isn’t out in stores yet!!). We visited Silver jean’s and Hudson jean’s showrooms and learned about everyhtingfrom the design process of jeans, to the production of the jeans, to buying for stores. The students also got to learn about all of the different jobs in the fashion industry!!!

Along with the merchandising opportunities, we toured design instititutes and workshops. Otis Fashion institute focuses on the fashion design process and creating a fashion designer. Check out some of the amzing work we were able to see and photgraph!!!

We spent majority of our days down in the “Fashion District” of downtown Los Angeles. There are thousands of show rooms within this fashion neighborhood. Floors upon floors house designer’s showrooms. We were able to walk the halls and see the sample displays and showrooms. It was quite the experience seeing what it is like to be down in the fashion district. Just eating lunch on a patio of a downt town resturant was a learning opportunity to see different trends of people working in the industry.

We spent a day at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM). FIDM is it’s own little community. Offering so many career opportunities and networking for it’s current students and Alumni. Many alumni have a 90% rate of obtaining a career in the design field. Companies include: Adidas, Nike, Underarmor, Anthropologie, BeBe, Bloomingdale’s, Zara, Old Navy, and many more!!
Our students were able to participate in a hands on workshop…..they learned to sew and made a skirt they designed in one day! We toured FIDM campus during our lunch break. The thought behind the design was perfect for our interior design students to see. We toured the museum which was currently showcasing current movie’s costumes. No pictures were allowed, but we saw some AMAZING, real-life costumes from movies like Catching Fire and The Great Gatsby. Check out the girl’s finished sewing projects and some of the campus.

FIDM fashion and interior design students collaborated to create a project based off of a fabric.
The experience of traveling as part of a group enhanced interaction with one another, other adults, and many professionals within the design industry. Los Angeles’ retail stores, businesses, and colleges provided the students with worldwide exposure in the fields of merchandising, visual merchandising, store layout, architecture, history, interior design, and buying principles. Talk about real life learning happening here!
Of course, we got to visit landmarks in the city as well as retail shops. All were quite the experience! AND SO MUCH FUN!!!
Rodeo Drive. Took pictures of top designer of the WORLD…first time ever seeing some of these designer stores!! And relived the Pretty Woman scene!!

Had lunch in the Hollywood Hills, took picks of the Hollywood sign, saw a famous people on a red carpet event, and looked at the stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame!
Visited the Ocean (one of the student’s first time seeing the ocean!) in Santa Monica and shopped the famous 3rd Avenue district.
Take a design class and be a part of next year’s design trip. We take 4 days to tour a city, network with professionals, and get real world experiences. I promise it is something you won’t want to miss next year!! City’s we have visited are New York….we are looking into Chicago too!!
Hello Jazztastic Junebugs!
Okay, so the weather might not be cooperating with my June driven welcome… but the most recent meeting that the Fashion Club had makes us more excited for the upcoming season! The officers brainstormed and a light bulb switched in our minds, “What makes you more excited for warm weather than staying inside while it’s dreary and making canvases!” Okay so maybe it didn’t go exactly like that, but we all had so much fun making canvases! It’s a fun, fairly easy project and all you need is a canvas (size of your choosing), paint (colors of your choosing), a sponge paint brush (or two or three), and a little time to let it dry! 🙂 Doilies make great shapes and beautiful patterns and there’s clear paints you can put over your artwork, like a matte coat or a super shiny one! Gotta love ’em all!
If you make a canvas you’d like to be shown on the blog, e-mail us at ONWFashionClub@yahoo.com!
Sincerely, the ever fabulous,
Fashion Club
